I can get one celeb 200 for the price of the 401 kit. But based on what you’re telling me I may just get the one celeb :)

I have used the Divas in the past but with the new Celebs that KinoFlo has to offer, they replace many of their past products for me. The Divas just aren’t as powerful as the Celebs.

I noticed the only kinos you didn’t cover were the divas. How do you feel about the 400s?

I have to say that if you are making the investment, the Celebs blow everything that Kino Flo has out of the water. The color is spot on and having the ability to dial them in via color temp, intensity and the DMX control, makes them worth every penny. I use celebs on every test shoot, commercial and film.

This is a great post – I will be using the 2′ 4 bank kino on my next promo and I was wondering what diffusion you were using in the scene from the ticket?

Would shooting the kino through a flex fill work for a soft beauty key?

Thanks

Fri, 02 Aug 2013 04:26:33 +0000http://www.hurlbutvisuals.com/blog/?p=8929#comment-68121The old Detroit Free Press building. I used to work at the TV station and the Detroit News building right down Lafayette to the right of that pic. If you were shooting in that area, I’m guessing at least some of your crew ate at the hotel bar (Finn & Porter) in the Double Tree. It’s a popular and convenient film crew watering hole.

As for lights, have you had a chance to check out the Area 48 LED lights yet?

Btw, I forgot to thank you on twitter for suggesting Leica stills glass regarding Primo “replacement” lenses. I tried some Summilux Ms on an F55 with an adapter and collective jaws were dropping. Have you tried the Schneider Cine Xenar IIIs? The previous version had weird designs and made me stay away from them, but these new ones look very Leica-esqe to me. My immediate reaction was “Shane would be happy”…

I would say that 4-6 c-stands are absolutely necessary. Maybe get some flex fill diffusions and bounces. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/17812-REG/Flexfill_489_48_Reflector_Silk.html A couple dimmers. Some extension cords. Some Clamp lights.

Thu, 25 Jul 2013 16:42:50 +0000http://www.hurlbutvisuals.com/blog/?p=8929#comment-67701Great article. Particularly fond of your use of “non-traditional” units. Love the Source 4 Leko. I like the S4 Par system too, with the 575w HPL lamp and lens kit. How can you go wrong for ~$300. They have an optional super wide lens too, great for bounce and book lights. On a related note, I’m finding it awfully handy to have some kind of dimmer board on set, speeds things up and comes in handy for broad camera moves where once a backlight becomes a key. Thanks again for you inspirational blog.

On the still pic from the Boutique scene taken from “The Ticket”, there seems to be an anamorphic-ish blue streak behind the mannequins. Is that due to the Glimmer Glass or just a reflection phenomenon from the mirror itself?

Thanks again for this awesome blog.

Thu, 18 Jul 2013 16:33:56 +0000http://www.hurlbutvisuals.com/blog/?p=8929#comment-67361Shane, I have been searching for articles like this one for years, and I feel this one is the best. Starting out, most of us just have access to Home Depot lights. We can achieve a lot with practicals and work lights, but it’s great to learn more about tools geared more towards the craft. If someone gave me a million dollar budget for lighting, I wouldn’t even know where to start outside of Home Depot. We all have read about other lights, but knowing how and where to use them is HUGE. Thanks so much for your time, and I sincerely hope you get to writing the other parts to this series.

I don’t know who you owed to make you want to pay this knowledge forward, but I’m thankful for your enthusiasm and lessons.

Have you had a chance to try out the latest gen of Literibbon (VHO PRO)? Only a few months old. So much better than their previous stuff in color rendition, in fact it’s as clean as one could hope for (i.e., “safe for faces”). Been using it on my show the last few months and am impressed enough that I’m starting to build fixtures with it. So versatile and can go anywhere, with full dimming and dialable color temp. Sometimes we’ll tape 6′ onto a length of PVC and you can just jam it onto a horizontal c-stand arm–instant batten sticking out 8′ into the set, no rigging (guess who taught me all about the power of battens!!) It’s replacing mini Kino’s, hand grenades etc in my packages. I’ll send you pix of the enclosures I’m building. xo pap

Honestly, I only knew half or less of this, but sometimes I get paid as DP ;)

I think that your next BootCamp will go sold out the first day and the waiting list will be as long as the one for the Mōvi 10.

Best

Wed, 17 Jul 2013 22:11:24 +0000http://www.hurlbutvisuals.com/blog/?p=8929#comment-67334Your blog is great! There are so many interesting topics on it and everytime I see a new one I just have to read it. Your blog is very unique because it gives the read so detailed information and what you explain is always proofed by well chosen examples, which I love.
The “DIY” stuff or in this case theatrical lighting is very interesting for me cause I have to work on a budget.
My personal lighting package is super small and simple at the time: just a bunch of builders lights and the good old Bulb + the chinaball (chinaballs are superb). And sometimes rented gear for my shorts.
Maybe you have some advice for me how to controll the builderslights better (despite of blackwrap, which I use for absolutely everything. It’s a great tool!).
What would be a good purchase to go a step further in building my personal lighting package. The theatrical light looks really use full.
Hope there aren’t too many errors, cause I’m from Austria and English isn’t my mothertongue.
